Methi Ka Paratha is the first thing which comes to my mind when I see a bunch of fresh methi leaves. It is not required to do anything extraordinary to prepare tasty and healthy methi parathas. Adding few ingredients along with methi leaves to our normal wheat flour turn normal chapathi into a tasty and more healthy one. Every one will agree methi paratha has its own unique flavor. All credit goes to Methi leaves(fenugreek leaves). We call it as Venthaya Keerai in Tamil. If you want a paratha in different flavor but with not more effort, Methi Ka Paratha should be your choice.

Methi Ka ParathaRecipe was introduced to me by my friend Amrutha. She offered few parathas to my kid when she prepared once. My son ate it without any complaints and he liked it. I asked her the recipe. But she used to add few more ingredients like besan flour.

I forget it actually and followed my own way. But if she could not have offered methi rotis on that day, I could not have made it in my kitchen :) Here I have given simple and basic version of Methi paratha.

1. Rinse the methi leaves and drain them. Chop them roughly. Mix wheat flour, chopped methi leaves, salt, turmeric powder, jeera and red chilli powder and garlic flakes in case you wish to add it. Use water and oil to make a soft pliable dough.

2. Divide the dough into equal sized balls. Roll like normal roti/chapathi. Heat tawa and cook both sides. Drizzle oil as and when required. Cook till both the sides turn golden brown in color and get brown spots.

Methi paratha is ready. Isn't so easy? Serve hot with any side dish. Even plain curd, normal boondi raitha or pickle will be good accompaniment as methi paratha is already having good amount of spiciness.

Note: 1. When it comes to Methi Paratha, the measurements of the ingredients are variable. You can alter the quantities as per your wish. If you love more jeera, add more jeera than the mentioned quantity. If you want it more spicy, add more chilli powder.

2. You can make stuffed methi parathas like aloo methi paratha following normal aloo paratha recipe after making the dough.
